Luminate: Summer Solstice Community Philosophy Workshop

The world is heating up. The shadows are illuminated. What happens when we pause and really see what's around us? This Summer Solstice, we invite you to explore what’s illuminated when we truly pay attention to where we are — in both place and time.

Join us for a community philosophy walkshop designed to help us connect with the world around us. In this two-hour experience, we’ll practice the art of observation and collective meaning-making through reading, walking, and creating together. It’s an invitation to wander, listen, and reflect.

We’ll journey across a 1km route, weaving threads of thought as we stop to share, read, and map the things that matter to us. Along the way, we’ll explore how our surroundings shape our understanding and deepen our connection to the world.
